Charles ==> As a deployer of several instances of LRP-CD, I am clearly interested in Dachstein-CD. However, I'm having some difficulty getting this going ;<
``Searching for Boot Record from Floppy..OK SYSLINUX 1.62 . . . . . . splash screen . . . Loading root.lrp.... Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue.'' Is this a kernel issue? I'm just trying to bring up your default distribution on a PPro box that otherwise runs woody just fine. CD-ROM drive is /dev/hdb and *not* bootable -- but, I already changed syslinux.cfg. The floppy clearly boots to a point; but, fails in root.lrp. What do you think? Charles Steinkuehler wrote: > > I have released a preliminary version of Dachstein-CD.

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we think we know.
